The Hammonds Band will head to Pudsey Civic Hall on Saturday 28th March (7.30pm) to perform as part of the annual Leeds 'Best of Brass' series of concerts.
Variety
Led by Musical Director Morgan Griffiths the Yorkshire ensemble will perform a wide variety of music — from a Salvation Army quick march opener to a Russian Army all conquering march to close.
In between the audience can enjoy music by von Suppe, Strauss, Walton and Debussy as well as from Peter Graham, Mike Batt and Etienne Crausaz.
There is also the opportunity to hear the band's star soloists, with Kirsty Abbotts, Noah Mallinson, Helen Clarke and Daniel Holm all taking their turn in the spotlight.
There are two further concerts in the series with Rothwell Temperance (18th April) and Brighouse & Rastrick (9th May)
